Oracle Cloud ERP Architect

Role Summary Our client's Integrated Electronics program runs eight functional tracks through repeated Conference Room Pilot cycles toward a go-live. The tracks are delivering. What has no single owner is the work that sits between them: keeping one plan current, tying open items to dates, tracking interface readiness, preparing the governance gates and publishing one honest status every week. This role takes that work. It is a coordination role with no authority over delivery. The people doing functional and technical work keep doing it exactly as they do now, and every decision they make today stays with them. Duration From start through go-live and hypercare exit Location Remote, with travel to Farmingdale for test events, cutover and go-live Reports to Senior Information Technology Director, Business Systems Works alongside Business lead, business analyst directors, development lead, database lead and the eight track leads Responsibilities Area What the role does The integrated plan Maintains one schedule with dependencies, durations and named owners. Republishes weekly with float against the go-live date. Open item tracking Keeps a fix version and a due date on every open JIRA item. Chases unassigned items to an owner. Integrations register Maintains one readiness status per interface, updated weekly, covering the Oracle and non-Oracle applications. Weekly status One page every week: milestone dates, float, top risks, decisions needed and exceptions carried. Steering committee support Prepares the agenda, the decision list and the pre-read. Records outcomes. Decision log Tracks every open decision with a requester, a decider and a required by date. Escalates at ten working days. Go or no-go gates Assembles the evidence against written criteria for both checkpoints. Cutover runbook Owns the document and coordinates the rehearsal. Defect burn-down Publishes the trend and coordinates daily triage during test events. Risk register Keeps it current and escalates anything scoring above the agreed threshold. Out of Scope Stated explicitly so the role can be introduced without disrupting a team that is already delivering.
